Father On Purpose Podcast

We may never be more like Jesus than when we practice generosity. We serve a God who gives without limits, and He gives us the chance to be His hands and feet in this world every day. Even when we're living from paycheck to paycheck, we can still find ways to be generous. We just need to be open to the possibilities.   Handcrafted Leather Goods: Shop Range Leather.

In a world obsessed with collecting more stuff, it's easy to forget that our most priceless commodity is time. We can always make more money; but once a moment passes, we can never get it back. That's why the Bible puts so much emphasis on taking advantage of every second of every day. Whether it's as a husband, dad, friend, or Christ follower, wasted time is a wasted opportunity. We need to invest in those opportunities God provides before they’re gone for good.   Take the hill each week and lead your family without regrets. Subscribe to Mountain Monday.

Men tend to be "doers." We measure our success—and even our worth—by what we're able to accomplish. On a scale of 1 to 10, we strive to be an 11. Of course, the chase for perfection is a race we'll never win. As men of God, we need to realize that the Bible actually puts the focus on being faithful, not being perfect. God knows we'll drop the ball on occasion. That's why He honors faithfulness above flawlessness. A big thank you to Range Leather for making this show possible!

As guys, nothing raises the hair on the back of our necks quite like being told we "have to" do something. It’s just human nature. No one likes to be told what to do—and that includes our kids. Trouble is, it's hard for dads to make the move from a "have to" mentality to a "letting go" mentality with their kids. It’s tough to shift from telling them what to avoid to teaching them how to make wise choices on their own. If you can master that transition from power to influence, though, it's a game changer—for you and your child.   Thank you Range Leather for making this show possible!

Sometimes in life, storms can strike with little or no warning. Hard times knock us down and keep us off balance like waves in the ocean. The best we can do is fight to keep our heads above water. That's when we need to remember that there's always more to the story. In the middle of our pain and frustration, we can rest assured that God is at work, crafting a bigger narrative for our good and His glory. It may be hard to see in the moment, but it's going to be a beautiful sight on the other side of the stress.   Big thanks to Range Leather for making this show possible.

In a world that challenges us to "look out for No. 1," humility can be hard to come by. Especially for guys, putting the needs of others above our own plans and desires can feel unnatural. We’re tempted to write it off as a quaint concept held over from a simpler time. Truth is, genuine humility never goes out of style. It's an eternal virtue that draws people to Jesus because it reflects His character. And, as we'll see in Proverbs 12, it's a character quality God expects men who follow Him to nurture in their lives.   Help make this show possible and support our ministry.

The old cliche says that we're born with two ears and only one mouth for a really good reason. Unfortunately, that doesn't keep most of us from letting our words wreak havoc in our lives more times than we'd like to admit. Whether we’re dishing it out or standing in the crosshairs, we’ve all seen the destruction caused by insults, lies, gossip, and dozens of other word-based sins. Thankfully, God understands that so many of us struggle with our words. That's why He gave us passages like Proverbs 12 to remind us that a war of words produces no winners, only casualties. And He’s shown us a better way! Help make this podcast possible. Donate now.

Aside from your walk with God, no relationship you'll ever establish is more important than the one you share with your wife. But here's something a lot of guys forget: You play a huge role in your wife's spiritual and emotional development. You are partners, so her growth as a woman and as a wife is tied to the love, honor, and support that you provide. As we dig into the message of Proverbs 12, look for ways to leave selfishness on the shelf and focus on being a true servant-leader in your marriage.

In Proverbs 12, King Solomon had a lot to say on the subject of diligence—and all of it was positive. From God's perspective, it's a good thing for a man to make his mark in the world by developing a reputation for working hard to support himself and his family. But a solid work ethic is not reserved for the marketplace. It also involves the effort we put into being a husband and father. It has its own set of rewards for the home. So, as men of God, our pursuit of His plan—inside and outside the home—is a pursuit that requires diligence.   Want to know where you're headed as a godly dad?
